How do people not getting a chill down their spine when the national anthem is played?

 

I think I may turning into one of those old women who has commemorative wall plates all over my house :D

Bullshit rule in the teamsprint - some pea brained cretin writing the rules forgot there is no fucking battons in a bike relay, so there's no reason whatsoever to define a changeover zone.

 

Germans promoted from 4th to Gold, bloody farce.

Blubbed all the way through it yesterday

how many more golds are available for us in the velodrome?

 

We'll win both team pursuits.

 

Sprints I would say we are 2nd favourite in each, but today we were miles better in all 3 events than the rest of the year, so no reason we can't win those.

 

Keirin is a crap shoot, but why not.

 

Omnium also a crap shoot, but Laura Trott is special so she'll probably win.

 

I'll say 4.5 would be par, but why not win 8.

Emotive stuff.

Mate of mine went to Hyde park and ended up staying there all day, loved it! Birch, it's meant to be ace. Plus there's loads going on in the Village too even if you don't get tickets.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get down to that there London before the end of the games :(

Loving that little German in our cycling team singing the national anthem properly.

 

He should teach our kickballers.

 

Yeah I detected a bit of an accent so checked his wikipedia. Balls to being German!

 

Good cycling article below about the collection of little things that just may make the big difference

Try women's triathlon, Hyde Park/Mall. It's open, mostly, like the cycling road race.

 

Just got back from Olympic Park, had tickets for the swimming this morning :D
